A political mythology of world order: Carl Schmitt's nomos

Article Abstract:

The international thought of Carl Schmitt, particularly his concept of the nomos of the earth, is addressed from the perspective of international law. Schimitt's mythologies of the earth as mother of law and of the sea as the characterless element reveal not a universal perspective but the very global orientation contained in that system of law, from which, his philology provides a striking understanding of the conditions of the political and social order of European modernity.
